Datawrapper vs Tinylytics: at a glance
What is Datawrapper?
Datawrapper's October is touch tooltips, keyboard focus and small chart repairs.
Datawrapper's recent changelog is a run of small, single-line changes. Touch devices get reliable tooltips on multiple-line and multiple-column charts and close buttons on symbol maps and scatter plots, keyboard focus outlines are now consistent and themeable, and range highlights can be hidden per device. The largest items are still minor refinements to existing chart types.
What is Tinylytics?
Tinylytics is cleaning its numbers and adding an AI-ranked SEO audit for Ultra customers
Tinylytics shipped a simpler embed script, moved widget setup into Settings, and now excludes hits from cloud hosting networks and Tor, after filtering a Singapore bot source in September that accounted for around 95% of traffic from that country. On Ultra, a new SEO audit has an AI model rank findings into a fix list, with weekly re-checks. Form tracking, Named Goals, stat cards, and timestamped hit imports fill out the period.
Datawrapper vs Tinylytics: editorial side-by-side
Datawrapper
5.0ANALYTICS
Datawrapper's October is touch tooltips, keyboard focus and small chart repairs.
◆ Current state
Datawrapper's recent changelog is a run of small, single-line changes. Touch devices get reliable tooltips on multiple-line and multiple-column charts and close buttons on symbol maps and scatter plots, keyboard focus outlines are now consistent and themeable, and range highlights can be hidden per device. The largest items are still minor refinements to existing chart types.
◆ Where it's heading
The current thread is reader-side interaction, with mobile touch and keyboard access getting the most attention. Range highlights have now had two additions in three months, after patterns in August, so annotation remains the one area accumulating options. No new chart type appears in the visible window.
◆ Prediction
Expect more touch and accessibility fixes as tooltip behavior is brought in line across chart types, since the notes already compare newer behavior with choropleth maps.

Tinylytics is cleaning its numbers and adding an AI-ranked SEO audit for Ultra customers
◆ Current state
Tinylytics shipped a simpler embed script, moved widget setup into Settings, and now excludes hits from cloud hosting networks and Tor, after filtering a Singapore bot source in September that accounted for around 95% of traffic from that country. On Ultra, a new SEO audit has an AI model rank findings into a fix list, with weekly re-checks. Form tracking, Named Goals, stat cards, and timestamped hit imports fill out the period.
◆ Where it's heading
Three lines are running together: data quality, tools that say what to do next, and agent access. Each filtering change makes the numbers more defensible, the SEO audit moves the product from reporting toward recommending, and the MCP and API keep gaining tools with most releases. The old-hit import, with its original timestamps, also courts users switching from other analytics tools.
◆ Prediction
Expect more audit-style features on Ultra and MCP tools that follow each new dashboard surface, as content issues and widget settings just did. Further traffic filtering is likely, given how often it has come up since September.
